It’s That Time Again!

Sunrise Marine — Tue, 07 May 2013 20:34:20 +0000

Your boat has sat in the yard all winter and now it’s time to go to the water! Do yourself a big favor, check your trailer. First, it’s tires and wheels. Check the air pressure, it is bound to be low after sitting all winter and low tires are hard to pull. They also build heat and that is not good, so air them up. Check your wheel nuts so you don’t wobble your way down the road. Hook it all up to your vehicle and see that your lights are all okay and then check and be sure your brakes are working. They may have to be exercised a bit after not being used for a while. Find some level ground and step back and check you are running close to level. If you are more than three inches high or low, level it up. Too high may sway behind the car and too low may mean too much tongue weight. Spend the few minutes it takes to check these items off your list and you should get to the ramp trouble free!

Vessel Safety Check

Sunrise Marine — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 20:16:56 +0000

The U.S. Coast Guard would like to see all vessels in compliance with equipment requirements and safely operated. If you are uncertain about the safety requirements for your vessel, one way to make sure you are in compliance is to schedule a Vessel Safety Check, offered as a free public service by the US Coast Guard. Qualified examiners will come to your vessel and conduct a courtesy examination. Those vessels that pass will be awarded a VSC decal indicating a successful check. The items checked during a VSC are:

Navigation lights
Sound producing devices/bell
Voice communications
Life jackets & throwable flotation devices
Fire extinguishers
Visual distress signals
Backfire flame control
Overall vessel condition
Ventilation
Proper display of numbers
Pollution placard (oily waste discharge)
MARPOL trash placards (garbage dumping restriction)
Marine sanitation device
Registration/documentation
Navigation Rules book
State and/or local requirements

Winter Season Boating On The Florida Panhandle

Sunrise Marine — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 20:43:57 +0000

One of the great things about living in Northwest Florida is the “off Season Boating” Although you probably won’t be swimming, there are dozens of places to go and things to do out in your boat. We Live in Niceville and we often run to Destin Harbor or Sandestin for dinner and a cruise. It always surprises us to see how many folks are out in winter, boating on the Florida Panhandle; fishing, cruising around or going to eat at the same place we are. So if you’re going out to just visit friends who live on the water, dine at a waterfront restaurant, or just look at the stars, wave when you see us!
